Co Q-10 Heart Complex

Co Q-10 Heart Complex Description

Through its role in the electron transport chain, coenzyme Q-10 is vital for the conversion of food into a form of energy your cells can use.* Co Q-10 is especially important for tissues and organs that have high cellular energy requirements such as the heart and muscles.* Heart levels of Co Q-10 decline by approximately 30% from our early 20s to early 40s, and by more than 50% in our late 70s. Puritan’s Pride Co Q-10 Heart Complex offers triple action heart support to help your cardiovascular system function.* 

This unique formula includes Co Q-10, Nattokinase and Phytosterols that complement each other to provide well balanced heart support.* It also contains Antioxidant Vitamins C and E. The rapid-release softgel form boosts Co Q-10 absorption compared to powdered capsules.

Naturally found in the energy producing cells of the heart, Co Q-10 supports healthy aging as well as good oral health, which is linked to cardiovascular health.* Meanwhile, Nattokinase provides blood pressure support by helping to maintain blood pressure levels already within a normal range.* Nattokinase is an enzyme that comes from Japanese natto, a traditional dish made from boiled, fermented soybeans. 

In addition, Phytosterols provide benefits for cholesterol health by helping to reduce cholesterol absorption from the digestive tract, thereby helping to lower blood LDL cholesterol levels.**

**Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 2 g per day of phytosterols eaten with meals or snacks may reduce the risk of heart disease through the intermediate link of blood total and LDL cholesterol. A serving of Co Q-10 Heart Complex provides 500 mg of phytosterols. 

The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) recommends 2 g per day of dietary phytosterols (Plants stanols and sterols) as part of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes to help lower LDL cholesterol. Total phytosterol intake has been estimated at 363 mg per day; with non-vegetarians consuming an average of 263 mg per day and vegans consuming an average of 428 mg per day total phytosterols. Phytosterols are found in unrefined vegetable, nut, and olive oil; nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes.

What’s more, Vitamins C and E are potent antioxidants that help fight free radicals in the body, which can cause oxidative stress and may damage cells.* 

Combined with a varied diet rich in whole foods, two rapid release softgels daily will provide a diverse mode of action that works within the heart as well as throughout your circulatory system.*
